Chapter 1295: Chapter 488: Eyes in the Temple

Zhou Xuan was thinking about raising the price of the elixir, but this time "Heaven and Earth" remained silent, and the "Dan Taker" had yet to show up.

Alchemist Bai Lu asked Zhou Xuan, "Mr., is it because the ’Heaven and Earth’ found out you were going to hike the price, so they didn’t come?"

"Things of value are always in demand but not supplied; I can raise the price, and they can counter the price on the spot. They will not be bluffed by my price."

Zhou Xuan was already adept at "doing business and negotiating prices" and was well aware of the tricks within.

"Old Bai Lu, don’t worry. This time the elixir is too precious. ’Heaven and Earth’ must conduct an inspection, and it’s likely that they also need to rethink the price in their heart."

At this time, "Heaven and Earth" had not come to take the elixir,

The incense fire Taoist came asking Zhou Xuan for the "Source Power Pill," wanting to take a closer look.

Zhou Xuan joked on purpose, saying: "Who knows if you are true incense or fake incense?"

"If I’m fake, wouldn’t that be better? If I try to steal your elixir, you and the butcher can chop me down."

The incense fire Taoist reached out to take it, and Zhou Xuan pretended to hesitate, teasing the old incense’s appetite before finally letting go.

As soon as the "Source Power Pill" reached the incense fire Taoist’s hands, the five fingers on the pill wrapped around the old incense’s fingers like a worm.

Then, a warm stream of air flowed into the body of the incense fire Taoist.

He couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and calmly uttered two words: "High level!"

"Is the evaluation that high?" the butcher asked.

"Only those who try will know."

The incense fire Taoist, after obtaining Zhou Xuan’s consent through his gaze, handed the severed palm elixir to the butcher.

The butcher held the elixir in both hands and also felt that warm flow.

"Such abundant power, but unfortunately, this power can’t be used on Hall Disciples, nor on our Heavenly God Level, God-level beings."

That mountain-like pill furnace, forged with the wish power of the entire city of Mingjiang Prefecture’s commoners, the Buddha Country’s Five Forms, Dun Jia Taishang’s extreme emotions and desires, was indeed too miraculous in terms of mystery.

However, its use is very narrow, only meant for those higher than the Heavenly God Level.

At this moment, the butcher first marveled at the preciousness of this elixir, but then sighed with slight disappointment.

The reason for his sigh was simply because the incense fire Taoist had told him—Zhou Xuan attempted to use the power of the elixir to replace the "Jing Country incense," becoming a new source of power for Jing Country, helping the human world of Jing Country break free from the constraints and restraints of the Heavenly Fire Clan.

But at the moment, this elixir made him see no hope,

The power contained within the elixir was too pure and abundant, even he, a Heavenly God Level being, could bear such power. If ordinary human world disciples, this power entering their body might just burst their secret realm.

"Alas, in the end, the Human World Hall’s disciples still can’t use the power of the elixir?"

After silently sighing, the butcher said to those eager Mingjiang’s Traveling Gods surrounding them: "I know you wish to touch this elixir, but with the endurance capacity of your secret realm, you cannot touch it."

The elixir wafted a fragrance, a scent akin to the aroma of meat, with man’s two basic instincts being "sex and food." The seductive aroma made everyone’s index fingers twitch, and their stomachs growl.

The most primitive appetite urged each of them to want to hold that "elixir," even if they couldn’t take a bite, they’d be satisfied just sniffing it. But after hearing the butcher’s words, no matter how much they wanted it, they dared not take the elixir.

Yet Li Changxun stood out, asked the butcher for the elixir, saying, "I am a Heavenly Dome God, I wonder if I can bear it?"

"Then try it."

The butcher handed over the elixir, and Li Changxun took it. When the five fingers of the "severed palm" interlocked with his right hand, an extremely strong warm current seeped into his body, infiltrating his secret realm.

Li Changxun smiled triumphantly and immediately said: "It’s nothing more than this."

Such boastful words had yet to fade when suddenly a sound like washing clothes began to ring in Li Changxun’s secret realm.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The washing sound grew more intense, and Li Changxun felt as if numerous hard wash beaters were pounding down on his secret realm, displacing his organs and reversing his bloodstream,

His face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he quickly returned the elixir to Zhou Xuan: "I’m sorry, Mr., I was a bit arrogant just now, quickly collect the divine skills."

Seeing Li Changxun in such discomfort, Zhou Xuan was also afraid of any mishaps and quickly took the elixir.

"I feel much better." Li Changxun said with empty hands: "Looks like this elixir cannot be enjoyed by ordinary people, though Mr.’s incense fire level isn’t high, why is it that holding the elixir doesn’t affect him?"

Yun Ziliang waved his sleeve to brush away the cold sweat on Li Changxun’s forehead, saying: "Xuanzi’s secret realm can bear the Heavenly God, Heavenly Venerate, unlike our secret realms, which cannot withstand any big storms and waves."

"True, true." Li Changxun softly agreed.

The painter then asked Zhou Xuan: "Mr., such a treasure pill, if the Dan Taker doesn’t come tonight, how should it be guarded? I fear someone strong will come to steal it."

He had completely comprehended the value of this elixir and was immediately worried about the safety of the elixir.

Zhou Xuan, however, gazed at the towering pill furnace in the distance, saying: "Do not worry, it has already arrived."

...

Inside the pill furnace, aside from the Dan Demon’s corpse, what remained was the lifeless elixir ground.
